DELAY THE Tote.

The GAZETTE notes that several gentle
men who are prominent as Prohibitionists
are by no means enthusiastic over the
proposition to take vote this year on
the prohibitory amendment. In recent
issue of Dr.. Crantill's Advance we find
letter from distinguished member of the
Prohibition party, who says without re-
serve that he fears an early vote is an in
vitetion to defeat. Any thoughtful Pro-
hlbitionist who considers the question
carefully must reach similar conclu
sion. Why, then, cannot these gentlemen
Join THE GAZETTE in its suggestion that
the vote be deferred a year, or even
two years? In an article few days
ago, THE GAZETTE pointed cut that as 8
matter OF common justice, capital invested
in the liquor business ought to receive
some consideration; that possibly the
amendment might be ratified by the peo-
pie, in which event great injustice would
inevitably be done to this capital, aggre-
marily and on short notice it is compelled
to seek other channels of investment.
That plea, THE GAZETTE comedies, was
made in behalf of the liquor interest, but
it would seem that the Prohibitionists
too have reason to view an early sub
mission of the question with apprehen-
sion, for they are by no means confident
Of victory. They are well aware they
ought to have more time to educate the
public mind up to their view of the mat
ter; that they ought to demonstrate,
through local option, that state prohibit
ton is feasible and desirable. Where
both sides have reason to desire delay of
year or two before the grand test IS
made at the ballot-oox, it would seem
there should be no difficulty about secur-
ing postponement to 'S8 or $50. Let the
prohibition brethren give the matter calm
thought. THE GAZETTE does not favor
prohibition, but IN all candor and sober
ness, THE GAZETTE warns the Pro-
hibltionists that if they insist on trial
OF strength this year they will be beaten.
THE GAZETTE has made plea in behalf
of capital invested in the liquor business,
because that capital is alarmed and dis
trustful; but, as matter of fact, if THE
GAZETTE, which is opposed to prohibi-
ton, could have its way it would certainly
select this year for the vote. After that
vote prohibition, as state issue, would
no. be heard of for decade to come

IMRE KIRALPY and his Black Crook
troupe attended DR.. Reeds church in a
body on Sunday in response to an invi-
tation from the pastor. This invitation
was given because of one from kiralfy
requesting the minister's attendance at
the ballet, which was declined. The
ballet dancer is certainly creature, and
is included in the command regarding
preaching, but the dancing road for the
preacher is not so well biazed.

Colossus at Rhodes, it is thought he
might plant his foot on either shore, for
California claims him as well as New

Der his earnest efforts at the close of the
war in behalf of true unity. Those who
know, say he is possessed of genuine
courage, as he has been tried and never
found wanting.

The Tootsy- Wootsies.
Alyarado Bulletin

Just because a love stricken maiden
sends Anarchist Spies a letter, "From
baby to her tootsy-wootsies," the Fort
Worth GAZETTE thinks the "tootsy-
wootsies" should all be hung. Was
Brother Malone never "tootsy-woot-
sy?" "If 1t were possible for man 10 ex-
Isl without woman he would be relieved
of a troublesome companion" the old
Roman said, but wisely we say unto
you: Hang all the "tootsy-wootsies"
and the earth would soon be depopulsted
and there would be none left to view the
great white throne descending from on
high. ~

During the campaign last fall bitter

latter stopped the DoctHr and told him
he Baker could not live any longer
without settlement of the difficulty &C

he was ready and anxious to accommo-
date Baker. Each then pulled their pis-

the shooting began. Five rounds were
fired, and in the last round Baker was
shot through the head and MORALLY
wounded. Wilcox had two bullet holes
in his hat and one in his coat .-r.-.f

Strew before the Lady's picture
Roses-dushing like the sky,
Where the lingering western cloudlets
watch the lingering daylight die.
vtolets stepped in dreamy odor,
Humble as the Mother mild,
Blue as were her eyes when watching
Der her sleeping child.
Strew white Lilies, pure and spotless,
Bending on their stalks OF green,
Bending down with tender pity
Like our Holy Queen.
Let the flowers spend their fragrance
On the Lady's own dear shrine.
While we claim her gracious helping
Near her Son Divine.
strew before our Lady's picture
Gentle flowers, fair and sweet;
Hope and Fear, and Joy and Sorrow
Place, too, at her feet.
Hark the Angelas is ringing
Ringing through the fading light,
In the heart of every blossom
Leave prayer tonight.
All night long will Mary listen,
While our pleadings fond and deep,
On their scented breath are rising,
For us-while we sleep.
Scarcely through the starry silence
Shall one trembling petal stir,
While they breathe their own sweet fraRranc
And our prayer-to her.
Peace to every heart that loves her!
All her children shall be blessed;
While she prays and watches for us,
We will trust and rest.

Baby Life Among the Apaches.

The Orerlaad Monthly has this item:
Leaning against wagons and buildings
are dozens of little baskets with baby
Apaches sucking their fists therein. The
baskets are of the regular Indian style,
and the poor babies are strapped and
laced into them tight and snug, nothing
showing but the round, chubby face and
two tiny fists. Some squaws hang their
baskets to the sadde-horn, because if
they are left standing on the ground the
dogs 90 round and lick the babies faces,
much to the little ones discomfort. One
rather frisky pony, with baby on the
horn of his saddle, wanders from the
bunch and is isimmediately surrounded by
a crowd ofdogs. Their barking starts him
to trot and with shrieks the mOtherrushes
from her place in the line to catch him.
But the pony doesn't want to be caught,
and from trot turns to a run, and away
he goes-the basket Tapping on his side,
only making him run the harder. No
one seems sorry for the poor baby, whose
wells are drowned in the general burst
of laughter that goes up. Finally the
strap that holds the basket breaks-down
comes poor baby, thump, to the ground,
face down, and the pony, after running
few more rods, is caught by a boy,
while the distracted mOtherpicks up her
unfortunate infant, and, Immediately
unlacing the deerslin cover, takes it out
to assure herself it is soundin body after
is rather risky ride and fall.

Business Methods.

The Waterbury, Conn, Republican
says: A citizen on Monday entered a
store on one of our side streets and ac-
costing the proprietor, said:
81 wish you would make out bill
against me for $40 and give it to me"
"But you don't owe me anything, "
said the merchant.
"No, don't, but some one else owes
me $50, and l have very small hopes Of
his ever paying me. Now you present
me with bill and write on the bottom
of it that if [ don't pay that bill before
6 o'clock you viii arrest me. l will take
the bill and go to the fellow that owes
me the money and show it to him. l
say that | must pay the bill before 6
o'clock or get into trouble. SeeI" and the
citizen placed his foretinger along his
nose.
The merchant tumbled, and soon the
required document was forthcoming. A
reporter who was present followed the
citizen out of the store and down the
street a short way, where he met the
man who owed him the money. The
long face that the citizen put on, and
the bill which he showed the other man
did their woIk, the bill wRs paid, and
the citizen went his way rejoicing,
